The Cold War
Mar 31, 2024 Episode 98

We recently did a four part mini-series on the Russian impact on the Last Frontier and this episode kinda serves as your post credits scene to that movie. A century after Russia sold Alaska to the United States, this land would serve as a buffer and play an integral role in the period of time known as the Cold War. On today's episode, we throw in an epilogue to our Russian mini-series and go through everything that happened in Alaska during the Cold War. Why was the North Pole strategic during the Cold War? How did the Cold War strategies evolve in Alaska over the decades? And which podcast host would you rather have save your life?! It's the episode we hope won't go obsolete!
